Walking the Camino in 2015
You may have heard about the ancient Camino (meaning “the Way”)
across Northern Spain & thought about walking part of it. From June 2nd-9th our
local parish Cluster will bring a group of young adults between the ages of
18-35 to walk the 110km from Sarria-Santiago. If you would like to come along
or if you just want to know more you can email me at frtom@ferbaneparish.ie or call me(Tom Cox) on (086) 8319500.

Questions people ask (Fr Silvester O’Flynn
–Intercom)
Q. When Jesus spoke about the kingdom of God was he referring to heaven or to life here on earth?
A. The kingdom is the central theme of the mission of Jesus in the Gospels of Mark and Matthew. Sometimes it refers to life with God in heaven, sometimes to the church community, but most often to the establishment of God’s reign on earth, overcoming the power of evil in the world. Jesus began his mission with the proclamation that the kingdom of God is at hand. To that end he called people to repent and believe, that is, to leave wrongdoing behind and to follow his way.

Q.
How many different names did Saint Peter have?
A. He is called Simon, Peter and Cephas. Simon was his original name. In Aramaic, which Jesus spoke, Cephas is the word for a rock. Peter is its Greek translation. In this new name Jesus indicated his role as the rock on which he would build his church. The letters of Paul refer to him as Cephas eight times and as Peter twice. The gospels, written later than Paul’s letters, nearly always use the Greek form, Peter, as the Christian Church was, by then, using Greek and Latin far more than Aramaic
